Brian Wendling

Brian Wendling is a whirlwind of fun, using award-winning juggling and high-energy antics to capture an audience’s heart!  An International Jugglers’ Association team champion (with Scott Burton), watch how Brian tosses, catches, spins, climbs, pops, manipulates, hula hoops, bounces, uses volunteers in crazy ways, and walks the line between success and failure at every turn.  A fan favorite at the Kansas City Renaissance Faire for almost forty years (where he has won Best Stage Performer numerous times), Brian has brought his stage shows to every conceivable audience, from the biggest to the smallest group! 

Long-running sponsors include the Kansas City Renaissance Festival (his 40th year!), Dickens On The Strand in Galveston, TX (30 years), the Visiting Artist series for the Coffeyville (KS) Community College Humanities program (30 years), and the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival (25 years).

Brian started as a shy college student who found juggling and performing as a way to cultivate his extroverted side.  The discovery of learning a new prop or weaving his way into the hearts of an audience gives him great pleasure.

As one newspaper quote noted: “Give the skinny fellow three or more objects and he’ll juggle them.  Add three or more spectators and he’ll make you wonder whether he’s juggling the objects or the people. 

Actually, he’s doing both...”

Now it’s your turn to see all of the fun!
